I received the screen in the mail from Canon yesterday and last night I set out to (hopefully) fix my camera. After about 45 minutes of blood, sweat and tears my SD 500 is as good as new.
You can check out the details in my SD500 Album.
I have one more upgrade to make to my camera. I have da’Oly protector on the way from daproducts.com. This is a clear, hard acrylic screen protector. It attaches to the camera leaving an air gap between it and the lcd. Hopefully this will work for me. Right now I am carrying my newly fixed camera with an old credit card in between the screen and the leather case.
Thanks for Derek at Newfoundland Camera for the suggestion on fixing the camera myself. He saved me about $150! Canon wanted $210 to fix it and I did it myself for about $60.
Enjoy!
Rene
